SAN ANTONIO – The Mavericks lived by one of the oldest sayings in the book on Monday night.
It’s not about quantity, but quality.
With only eight bodies – seven during the final six minutes of the game – they dug deep for a 133-129 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center.
It was a riveting night of basketball in which the Mavericks showed the same sort of grit they displayed back when they had players named Irving, Washington, Lively and Gafford.
This time, it was a different cast, but they showed the same heart.
